The Monkees – end of a lifetime

Years ago when I was a teenager I was bemused by my mother always referring to a recent passing of a film star or singer as being a sad loss as they meant so much. I couldn’t understand how someone who you had never met could have an effect on your life like that. Now I’m at that age where the same thing is happening to me, people who I have never met pass away and I feel emotionally connected to that sad event.

The latest sadness is the passing of Davy Jones from the Monkees it seemed like he had been in and out of my life since I was a young teenager. Many of their songs would always be heard every year on different radio shows and were great to listen to at any time which of course would instantly get you singing along, the words were always there in the back of your mind from years gone by.

Only recently Davy Jones was talking in an interview on BBC TV he looked really great and didn’t (in my opinion) look his real age and still retained that sparkle of his youth. His daughter recently stated that her father tried to please everyone and considered that stress would have been a major contributor to his death as he was constantly on the road keeping up with the demands of the music industry. Would he have had it any other way? Often people become so famous due to there real personality and not a ‘mask’ to comply with expectations. I think for all those years we got a lot of the real person someone driven to be the star that so many loved and admired. Thankfully he will live on for many of us through his music and in our memory bringing back carefree times of formative years. Thank you for being that Daydream Believer.

Hypertension – Hypnotension practical help.

Modern life here in the west gives us many things to be grateful for – clean water, sanitation, good housing, good & plentiful food, the latest technology and cutting edge medical treatments, to name just a few.

Yet with all of our good fortune many people suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure (among many other illnesses). Often this condition ‘sneaks’ up on you and around 90% of people with the condition have no clear reason as to why it occurs – there are many causes the difficulty is attributing what causes your particular situation.

Is it hereditary, genetic, a diet rich in ‘the wrong type’ of fats, a high intake of processed food and sugars, a lack of exercise, smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, exposure to uncontrollable high levels of stress, fear, guilt and anxiety these are just some of the most recognised causes.

Then how do we cope with this condition a trip to your local Doctor will establish your blood pressure and determine if it is within a ‘normal’ range. The Doctor will if required prescribe medication and advise you on life style changes that are required. There are plenty of things you as an individual can do to help yourself – reduce the intake of alcohol, avoid the wrong type of fatty food, monitor the type of diet you are eating, reduce and manage stress where possible and exercise (check with your Doctor first) on a regular basis 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes is suggested (no need to run a marathon).

In addition to the above you could consider Hypnotension™ (therapy combined with hypnosis aimed purely at tackling high blood pressure) from a certified practitioner. This method helps you to find ways of improving areas that perhaps medication alone cannot overcome. For further information visit http://www.hypnotension.com and take a look at what’s on offer.
